    Simulation labs

    Certifiable replied to rei-chan's topic in General Students

    I wish my university had sim labs... they don't have the money for it. We just have the regular labs with empty beds, not robotic patients. I completely agree that it would be more constructive to...

    Is this cheating?

    Certifiable replied to BCurtis's topic in General Students

    I really believe that making a class take the same test right after another class already did it is extremely stupid of the administration. Cheating? I don't know.... but I agree with the above...

    The Nerves!

    Certifiable replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Practicing over and over again calms the nerves. Because that way you remove or at least diminish the emotional part of the stressor- and you can become a calm thinking machine. If you want to try and...

    Failed two exams already, but still trying to push through.

    Certifiable replied to AlliNeedisAMiracle's topic in General Students

    That's awsome! The only way that my university grants more time is if you have a learning disability (documented). A lot of students pay for the ADHD test etc' just for the extra time. My anxiety...
